Special K Bars – Tasty Tuesday

This classic Special K Bars Recipe is one of my Dad’s favorites – a sweet indulgence for those special holidays & family get-togethers. In my family the holidays have always been about spending time with friends and family, and sharing our favorite holiday traditions. My mom starts baking the week before Christmas, wearing her favorite fair trade apron and oven mitts, to make sure we have everyone’s favorite treats. It’s definitely my favorite time of year, and I know it’s not so much about the treats or the special holiday menus – but the memories we’ve created around them, so I wanted to share this recipe with you for Special K Bars. It’s one that we make whenever my Dad’s family gets together for Christmas, birthdays, or other special occassions.
